Evernote Insider: Monthly Giveaways on our Facebook Page

Today we’re launching a fun new project on our Facebook page called Evernote Insider. Every month, we’ll have great Evernote Insider giveaways, discounts and deals on various products that make your Evernote life better.

To kick things off…

We’re starting things off with a great Evernote canvas bag full of t-shirts, stickers, and more.

Become an Insider

All you need to do to enter the sweepstakes is go to our Evernote Insider page on Facebook and Like us. Then, follow the registration instructions on the next page. If you’re already a fan, you’ll be taken directly to the registration page. Note you will need to allow an app to install and access your data and post. The giveaway starts on July 10th and is open until midnight PT on July 14th, 2012. Our first Evernote Insider sweepstakes is open to U.S. residents only, but we plan to include more countries in future giveaways. See our official rules for more information. Enter today, and check the Facebook page often so you don’t miss next month’s partner giveaway!

Why limit it to individuals with a facebook account? I know CEO Phil Libin has said that Evernote is almost “anti-social” in that it doesn’t care about sharing with “friends” but just about what you want to remember. I have to think there are many users (myself included) who do not have (and do not want) a facebook account but who would like to participate. Why require a user to have an account with another company to interact with your own?

Bloody typical (‘only available to people living in the USA’), behave yourself Evernote, it may hsurpise you to know that there are few people who live outside the USA, and one or two of us use Evernote – some of us even pay for it !

Why alienate non-Facebook users? Why discriminate against Twitter users? Is one EN user better than another? Maybe you could set up a EN Insider Program that would include ANY EN user who wants to be in the know… Let’s face it, Facebook was a poor choice anyway.

I’ve been trying all week to enter this contest with no luck. Previously I could get to the form and fill it out but clicking “Submit” did not submit the form data. Now, when I go to the page to enter (which is supposed to close at midnight pacific tonight) all I find is a page with placeholders for the 10 winners but no place to enter. What gives?
